Port Redirect Screen
The Port Redirect Screen, Figure 4, allows a user to set each front panel port as a
source or destination port. Frames received on the source port can be redirected to
the destination port. For example, port 1 can be set as the source port with port 2
as the destination port. Frames from port 1 are then automatically redirected to
port 2. The port redirect function is useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it
allows traffic to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or
RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port can be examined.
To access the Port Redirect screen, go to the Module Configuration Screen. Then,
select the Port Redirect option.
Note: Although all traffic from the source port (including errored frames) is sent
to the destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the
source port.
